#3 Manage Your Time.
The number one factor in job loss and relationship breakdown is lack of time and dedication. Successful professionals who are in relationships know this can be avoided with a little forethought and planning. If your healthcare career demands that you work long hours at the end of the month, plan a weekend get-away the week before so you can share time before your required separation. Equally, after a vacation or break from work, come back to the hospital energized and eager to get back to your job. Show the head nurse that even though you value your relationship and personal life, you are similarly devoted to your professional success.
